bad habits (johnny lawrence)

chapter 2

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL: 7:30am.

i say goodbye to my ma and leave the apartment bumping into someone.
"oh hey." i smiled at daniel who had a black pair of aviators on "hey.. i was just coming to get you." daniel smiled back "how's your eye?" i asked him softly making a face.
he sighed and removed his eye. it was huge, all black and blue.
"jesus christ." i breathed out.
"honestly it looks worse than it feels." he chuckled putting back on his glasses.
i smiled softly and nodded.

"so.. i came here to ask if you wanted a ride to school with me." he smiled at me, "yeah? you have a car?" i raised a brow at him making him laugh and shake his head "no i don't.. i have a push bike, you can jump on the handles of that. that means we get to school quicker." he told me as we jogged down the stairs. i chuckled and agreed to it.
i feel like daniel and i will become good friends. he seems really sweet and is already looking out for me like i am him.

once we got to school daniel escaped because he saw cobra kai sat on their bikes huddled in a group laughing and joking. i chuckled at him walking off in the opposite direction, he said he'd meet me in the cafeteria later on.

i go to my locker and put my books in there. i kept my english book as i have english first.
i shut my locker door and jump when i see cobra kai there, staring at me. i made a face and walked around them.

"no good morning?" bobby called out. i stopped in my tracks and slowly turned around "why should i? my friend is black and blue because of you idiots." i snap "why you always gotta fight, huh?" i eye all of them up.
"hey. that was johnny, don't blame us!" tommy said "yeah and you also held ali back from interfering" i looked at tommy, then i looked at bonny "you stood there and let it happen."

"i did try and tell him..." bobby trails off glancing at johnny.
i laughed shaking my head "i should of known. rumour has it you was all planning on changing for the last year of school. you lot will never change." i shook my head storming past them. bumping shoulders with johnny and bobby.
"see what you've done?" bobby snapped, i'm guessing at johnny.

i was sat alone, like always, at the back of english. some students started filling up the room but i just kept my head down.

"is this seat taken?" i heard a familiar voice. i looked up to see johnny lawrence. my heartbeat quickened.
"i don't know." i shrugged looking away from him "is it?" i look back at him.
he smiled slowly "you've upset bobby." he said slowly sitting down beside me
"so what? and you've really damaged daniel." i say looking at the front of the class, everyone made weird faces when they spotted johnny next to me. after all he is the most popular student in school. a few of the cheerleading girls mucky looked me as they scowled.

"that's the princesses name?" johnny chuckled. i looked at him and he immediately stopped giggling.

"can you sit somewhere else? i don't like all the attention you're bringing me." i trailed off moving away from johnny slightly.

"why didn't you come to the beach?" he ignored me. i made a face and looked into his blue ocean like eyes "i don't like hanging around with cobra kai's in my spare time."
"you hang out with bobby enough." johnny retorted, quickly.
"bobby is my friend, i've known him since being 5 years old. he's a lot sweeter then the rest of you, he gets led astray being friends with you all." i mumbled

"fuck you." johnny snapped making everyone look at us "that's no true." johnny added making me laugh and roll my eyes "of course it is. before he got into karate with you lot he was the sweetest and most genuine person i knew. now, even he's changing, the only friend i have i'm actually losing to some daft fucking group of karate students." i rolled my eyes

"no wonder you have no friends and have been lonely for years if this is the bitch you really are." he growled standing up "why don't you go cry in your shitty two bedroom-ed apartment you live in up in reseda?? you belong in a shit hole like that. you bitch." he said and left the room.

everyone's eyes was on me as they gasped and whispered.
i rolled my eyes standing up and leaving the class too. i went to sit on the tables outside where people come to eat their food.

i was sat here for about two hours when i felt a presence behind me.
"you aren't loosing me, frankie." i heard bobby's soft voice. i sniffle as i quickly wipe my eyes. "leave me alone, bobby." my voice cracks. he turns me around, notices i'm crying, then pulls me up and hugs me tight.
"johnny didn't mean what he said, you just triggered him, he knows what you said is true." bobby rubbed my back gently

"you should leave before all the stuck up encino kids spot you with me." i pull out of the hug and sit back down.
"hey!" bobby said quickly "i don't care where you're from, and you damn straight know that. i've been friends with you since we were 5 years old. i genuinely don't give a crap that you live up in reseda, it doesn't bother me."

i rolled my eyes at him.

"i think johnny wants to apologise to you." bobby said softly. i wiped my tears away and looked at bobby. he nodded over to the right of us. i looked over and saw johnny and the other lads sat on a table watching us.
"tell him he can keep his sorry's. he doesn't know me and i don't know him." i mumbled "i'd like to keep it that way." i wiped more tears as bobby rubbed my back.

i may have the biggest crush on johnny lawrence, but that doesn't mean i have to forgive him or speak to him. he spoke to me like shit and threw my biggest insecurities in my face, having no friends and living up in reseda.
i'm not as lucky as him to have a mother who purposely married some rich producer so i could have a better life. his mother did, he's grown up in the fancy hills of encino with really nice cars and motorbikes with a huge pool in his back yard of his mansion.

"hey... francesca?" johnny's familiar voice snapped me out of my thoughts. i stood up grabbed my water bottle and walked away not even looking at him.
